[00:16.29]Have you ever been to Disneyland?
[00:21.35]
[00:22.26]Most of us have probably heard
[00:25.51]of Mickey Mouse Aonald Duck,
[00:27.56]and many other famous Disney characters.
[00:30.52]Perhaps we have ever seen them in movies.
[00:33.55]But have you ever been to Disneyland?
[00:36.68]In fact,there are now four different amusement
[00:40.51]parks around the world.

[00:43.57]Disneyland is an amusement park,
[00:46.49]but we can also call it a theme park.
[00:48.95]It has all the normal attravtions that
[00:53.82]you can find at an amusement park.
[00:56.49]But it also has a theme.
[00:59.83]The theme,of course,is Disney movies
[00:59.17]and Duisney characters.
[01:00.76]For example,you can find a roller coaster
[01:04.19]in most amusement parks,
[01:06.08]but in Disneyland,
[01:08.27]the theme of the roller coaster is Disney characters.
[01:11.75]This means¹ that you can find Disney characters
[01:14.54]all over the roller coaster.
[01:16.90]You can also watch Disney movies,
[01:19.81]eat in Disney restaurants,
[01:21.30]and buy Disney gifts.
[01:23.16]And you can see Disney characters
[01:25.67]walking around Disneyland all the time!
[01:27.87]
[01:28.95]Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise²?
[01:32.02]These are huge boats that also have the Disney theme.
[01:35.96]You can take a ride on the boat for several days,
[01:39.90]and you can sleep and eat on board.
[01:42.57]There are also many attractions³ on board,
[01:45.95]just like any other Disneyland.
[01:48.26]You can shop, go to Disney parties,
[01:50.66]and eat dinner with Mickey Mouse!
[01:52.82]The boats take different routes⁴,
[01:55.65]but they all end up in the same place.
[01:58.36]That is Disney's own island.
[02:00.30]
[02:01.23]It is just so much fun in Disneyland!
